Sponge-like spaces in a plan and section were developed with passages, storage, etc., located between the perforated walls. The building scale of the pavilion is thus related to detail scales in the renovation.

The concept of "Patterns in a Chromatic Field", inscribed in a rectangular "sponge", establishes a series of perspectival overlapping interior spaces animated by "phenomenal screens of color." The screens form a spatial and experiential frame containing services such as lighting, supply and return air grilles.
The perforated screens developed in three dimensions are analogous to the "Menger Sponge" principle of openings continuously cut in planes approaching zero volume.
